Paul and Joanne Hague  - Principals of TOPAZ

Paul and Joanne formed their dance partnership over 16 years ago.

They travelled to many top Coaches all over the U.K. and specialised in ‘10 Dance Championships’ winning competitions and titles in both Ballroom and Latin American.

They appeared on the original ‘Come Dancing’ programme in 1993 and have danced on The Lottery Show and The Forsyte Saga, where they supplied the majority of film extra ‘dancers’ for the series.

Paul’s parents retired from their own dance school in Liverpool – handing over the reigns to Paul and Joanne back in 1994.

Paul and Joanne trained to qualify as professionals and take over their classes while they took up contracts on P & O cruises. Paul and Joanne took part in shows, demonstrating their dances and continued to teach whilst travelling around the world.

They decided to take the plunge and move back to Joanne’s home-town 4 years ago leaving the Liverpool school in the capable hands of their Ballet Teacher.

Paul and Joanne have a son who has a ‘quiet’ interest in dance and as Joanne’s parents were also dancers – the dance gene may be carried through to the 3rd generation!
